Proof Digital

Proof Digital was founded in 2013. The company, then known as "unINK Marketing & Creative Agency," was focused on building websites, providing graphic design services, and assisting businesses in running digital advertising campaigns.

Today our work is more reflective of a digital consultancy than a marketing agency. Marketing is still very much included in the scope of services we provide; however, we focus on the uniqueness of our clients to identify areas where technology can create a competitive edge and deploy scalable solutions that are cost-effective with high impact.

AI, automation, custom web applications, and data services are the core of most of our work. Over the past four years, we have built a large code stack that allows us to deploy creative products that leverage our clients' data (sales, inventory, accounting data, HR, and more).
